Pulse plants have nodules to help them convert nitrogen in the atmosphere to ammonia that can be used by the pulse plants to manufacture amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, and other nitrogen-containing compounds that are necessary for the pulse plants to survive.
The conversion of atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia is called nitrogen fixation. The nitrogen fixation process starts with the formation of nodules.
Rhizobium is a common soil bacterium which invades the roots of the pulse plant and multiplies within the cells of the cortex layer. Within a week after infection small nodules are visible to the naked eye.
The nodules grow and turn pink or reddish in color indicating that the process of nitrogen fixation has started.

Which biochemical aids plants through bacterial nodules in soil?
nitrogen
Where are nitrogen fixing bacteria found on plants?
The root nodules. they fix the bacteria in the soil so it's the most sensible place!
What is a plant swelling?
Plant parts are swollen in many cases due to storage of food. In some aquatic plants, some plant parts like leaf petiole are swollen due to air chambers so that these plants can float in water.
Why legiminous plants have root nodules?
It contains bacteria that fix nitrogen in the soil. This provides this vital element not only for the legume but also other plants in the vicinity
Where does nitrogen from the atmosphere go before it enters the plants?
The nitrogen goes into the nodules of the plant.

What does nodules of leguminous plants contain?
rhizobium
What is found in the root nodules of leguminous plants?
it is rhizobium
How are root nodules useful for the plants?
The root nodules of leguminous plants like gram,pulses,etc. contain nitrogen-fixing bacteria,rhizobia, which help in fixing nitrogen in the soil for the plants to absorb.Nitrogen is essential for the growth of plants.
Where on liguminous plants are nitrogen fixing bacteria found?
In nodules on the roots.
